Tour Plan
Day 1: Ouarzazate to Merzouga – Entering the Sahara
The adventure begins in Ouarzazate, often referred to as the ‘Gateway to the Sahara.’ This city is not only famous for its film studios and stunning kasbahs but also for its unique location at the edge of the desert. As we leave Ouarzazate, the landscape shifts dramatically, from rocky plateaus to the vast expanse of the Sahara.
Our route takes us through the picturesque Draa Valley, lined with ancient kasbahs and lush palm groves. We’ll make stops at various points of interest, allowing you to absorb the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings. As we approach Merzouga, the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes come into view, a sea of golden sand stretching to the horizon.
In Merzouga, you’ll have the opportunity to experience a camel trek into the heart of the dunes. This is a moment to connect with the timeless landscape, feeling the rhythm of the desert as the sun sets, casting a warm glow over the sand. The night is spent in a desert camp, where you can enjoy traditional Berber hospitality under a canopy of stars.
Day 2: Merzouga to Fes – Across the Middle Atlas
As dawn breaks, we encourage you to climb the dunes and witness the sunrise, a moment of profound beauty and tranquility. After breakfast, we begin our journey to Fes, one of Morocco’s most iconic imperial cities. The route takes us through varied landscapes, from the barren beauty of the desert to the lush greenery of the Middle Atlas Mountains.
We’ll pass through small towns and villages, each with its own charm and history. Stops at viewpoints will offer breathtaking panoramas of the Atlas Mountains and the Ziz Valley. This journey isn’t just about reaching the destination; it’s about enjoying the diverse and stunning scenery of Morocco.
Arriving in Fes, you’ll be struck by the contrast between the ancient medina and the vibrant, modern pace of life. Fes is a city of history, culture, and learning, home to one of the world’s oldest universities and a medina that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s a fitting end to a journey that has taken you from the tranquility of the desert to the bustling life of the city.
